Caption: Trump Says Russia Has 'Lost Control' Of Oil Industry Due To Ukraine War. U.S. President Donald Trump says Russia's energy industry has been badly damaged by the war in Ukraine and renewed his call for the conflict to end. Trump claimed Russia had "lost control" of its diesel industry following intensified Ukrainian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure. He said numerous Russian refineries had been damaged and temporarily put out of operation by Ukrainian strikes. Trump called the conflict "ridiculous" and "never-ending", arguing that its human and economic consequences were affecting the entire world. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded that Kyiv was prepared to halt attacks on Russian energy infrastructure if Moscow stopped targeting Ukraine's facilities. Zelensky said Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy sector, critical infrastructure and food exports would need to end for reciprocal de-escalation measures. Earlier this month, Trump urged Ukraine to stop targeting Russia's energy infrastructure, arguing the attacks were contributing to global fuel shortages. Trump and Zelensky are due to meet in New York on Tuesday, with Zelensky saying current talks have created momentum for possible de-escalation measures.
